He's Popped the Big Question but You Have a Small Budget

Many Brides and Grooms are looking to cut costs and have an affordable yet beautiful wedding. With wedding costs soaring well above $27,000 is there any hope for those that have to stick to a strict budget. Wedding Workshop Production's Planning For The Big Day 101 focuses on helping couples keep their wedding budget "slim and trim."

You've called everyone you can think of to joyfully describe how he proposed making great efforts not to forget any of the juicy details. Responding to people's congratulations and accolades has become a part of the daily thank you regimen.

If you're like most brides, you've even stared down at your hand at least 1000 times since he's proposed just to make sure that the ring so proudly being displayed is still there.

Immediately, is not soon enough for you and most brides to start planning; looking at everything from dresses to cakes, from invitations to personalized favors. Most families simply put are out of control with excitement!

Things can't get any better right now, until... wedding services and items are priced and suddenly that engagement high that you've been on for the last week or month begins to feel more like helplessness or even panic.

Why? Because he's popped the question and you have no idea where you are going to get the money to pay for the wedding of your dreams. Recent studies have shown that wedding costs have soared over the last fifteen years and that weddings are now on average over $27,000.

So what's a bride and groom to do?

Well, one Michigan organization has made it their business to assist brides with this very question. Wedding Workshop Productions has established a course called Planning For The Big Day 101 that focuses on helping couples keep their wedding budget, "slim and trim."

In addition, participants also spend time on wedding theme and design and creating their own personalized newsletter. "I have personally experienced some of the frustrations that couples face when it comes to budgeting for their wedding. When I got married, I set my budget at $7,000. I had an absolutely beautiful wedding and in addition a one week honeymoon in Maui, Hawaii for under $7, 000." said Zakiyah Brooks, Director of Wedding Workshop Productions.

Brooks added, "Many times couples feel trapped and discouraged because on the surface it looks like there are no reasonable avenues to take when trying to cut costs for their wedding. Couples are often unaware of how to tap into the resources that are available for every bride and groom. Planning For The Big Day 101 helps by teaching that with a little creativity, some sound project management and the right resources, you can and will have the wedding you desire without spending a fortune."

Classes are currently being offered in the Metro Detroit area for $20 and meet for one hour on Saturday mornings for four weeks. The next session begins on August 19, 2006 and although sessions often fill up fast, classes are offered on an ongoing basis.

Wedding Workshop Productions is based in Metro Detroit and is dedicated to educating soon to be married couples on areas of wedding budgeting, planning, and creating the right connections by hosting workshops, classes and special events.
